You will make users crazy lol. This is clearly a backend issue. They should fetch the correct number in playlist description endpoint!

Friends from a news agency showed me how they gaslight users into looking around on the page by starting the carousel on something really bizarre that immediately rolls over and gets deleted.

devJs13264yLOL!
Don't gaslight people like that!
Its funny and evil at the same time!
This made me feel weird!
First I was like: 'hahaha, that's clever!', then I was like: 'wait, that's pure textbook gaslight move, people will think thy are developing dementia or some sh1t! ' -
@devJs The picture is either of giraffes mating, a weird meme-ish drawing of a giant trump with large barrels of Lysol, a photorealistic Escher cube with a stock photo of a scientist or a drawing of a countrywide well-known bridge collapsed after ww2 but transformed to look like a digital photo.
So basically things that make you curious less because they're interesting and more because what article could possibly have that banner image? -
user thinks he's imagining things?
my first thought would be towards the app: "congrats on re-counting correctly"

i work on a music streaming app.
bug: playlist description shows there are X songs inside. But when you go inside it says there are Y songs in the list. the list actually containing Y songs.
hack: when a user goes in, cache Y and display it outside in the description next time.
result: user sees X songs in playlist description, goes in playlist and sees Y songs. goes back to check why it said X before but now it doesnt say X anymore coz we cached Y and display that in the description from now on so the user assumes they are imagining things
